  • Best AI podcast. TWiT forever!

    Loyal Twit supporter and subscriber. Love the new format of the show. So happy Paris helped bring back Jeff’s intro I actually missed it when it was gone. As someone who works in technology I really enjoy the dialogue when talking about AI. The show really feels like a conversation which I love.

  • Not political. Not.

    Oh wait, yes it is as long as it’s Leo, Jeff and the shows politics…then the show stops being a tech show and becomes a show on their politics. A very biased tech show both on personal beliefs on AI as well as politics.

  • Weekly listener

    This is one podcast I always look forward to hearing on release day. I’m glad they shifted to a focus on AI, when it was TWiG the show was mostly a second TWiT. I’m curious to know whether Paris receives hazard pay for putting up with Leo and Jeff each week.
